EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Fort Myer Officers Training School, between 1916 and 1918,' is a captivating snapshot of history from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The image showcases a group of young men, dressed in military uniforms, assembled on the grounds of Fort Myer in Virginia. The setting is a picturesque scene of outdoor education, with buildings and houses in the background. During this time, Fort Myer served as a major training ground for the United States Army, preparing soldiers for service during World War I. The men in this photograph are likely officers-in-training, engaged in drills and instruction under the watchful eye of their commanding officers. Their uniforms, with crisp creases and polished shoes, reflect the pride and discipline instilled in them during their time at Fort Myer. The photograph was captured by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which have since become an invaluable resource for historians and researchers. This particular image, with its timeless composition and historical significance, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the experiences of those who served during a pivotal moment in American history. The photograph's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the dedication and camaraderie of these young men as they prepared to defend their country. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel who came before us, and the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
